The property

Situated in the picturesque town of Newburgh, Glenlui is a rarely available, traditional, stone-built, detached house, which promises a wealth of accommodation and superb versatility. The south-facing property offers three/ four bedrooms, three/two reception rooms, and expansive gardens, and the family home further benefits from neutral interiors and well-retained period features. Plus, it has a private driveway and garage. Nestled behind a low-maintenance front garden, the door to Glenlui opens into a vestibule, giving way to a broad reception hall with a WC and characterful period details. From here, there are three generous reception rooms. To the left, there is the living room with a sweeping bay window, lavish cornice work and ceiling rose, a handsome focal-point fireplace, and a press cupboard. On the right, there is a versatile sitting room (with a fireplace) that could be used as a fourth bedroom (if required), and there is also a formal dining room, which echoes the living area with its bay window, period details, and traditional fireplace. Meanwhile, the breakfasting kitchen is well-proportioned, providing room for a table and chairs. It is fitted with a good selection of cabinets and plenty of workspace, housing an electric cooker, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher. A neighbouring utility room supplements the kitchen. From the hall, a traditional staircase rises up to a bright galleried landing, where the three main bedrooms await. The principal and second bedrooms are both generously proportioned doubles with dormer windows, whereas the third bedroom is a flexible single. In addition, the principal bedroom has a large store and the second bedroom features a built-in cupboard. A modern three-piece bathroom, with a shower over bath, completes the accommodation. The property has double-glazed windows and gas central heating. Furthermore, it has a substantial basement and cellar for further storage and creative use. Outside, there is also an expansive rear garden that offers excellent privacy. Perfect for families, it is framed by established shrubbery, and features a large lawn, mature planting, and a patio for alfresco dining in the sun. A gated driveway and a single garage provide secure off-street parking for at least two cars. Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, an electric cooker, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine to be included in the sale. Newburgh is a royal burgh in Fife, set on the south shore of the River Tay. The town has a long history of fishing and industrial heritage and was given royal burgh status in 1266 by King Alexander III of Scotland, and its biggest employer is now quarrying, with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities, which is made easy owing to the close proximity of major road links, excellent bus links, and a train station within driving distance in Ladybank. Newburgh boasts excellent everyday amenities including convenience stores, independent retailers, craft and gift shops, a pharmacy, a doctor's surgery, a Post Office, cafes, and coffee shops. More extensive shopping is available in the surrounding towns and nearby Perth, where gyms, leisure pools, and further recreational facilities can also be found. Residents of Newburgh who enjoy the outdoors are spoilt for choice with nearby parks and the River Tay, whilst the burgh also lies on the picturesque Fife Coastal Path. Schooling is catered for at pre-school and primary level at Newburgh Primary School, followed by secondary education at Bell Baxter High School in Cupar. Some of the area's fine independent schools are also easily accessible from Newburgh.
